If the mirror has an issue in the future, will it not stop all the lights on the same circuit from working? Trying to understand best practice!

Why do you suggest lighting rather than shower feed? The shower has been removed, are you suggesting leaving it there ready for any future use?

That's right, its on the ceiling by the entrance door to the bathroom.

Makes sense. Do you know if its acceptable in the eyes of building regs to put an unswitched fuse box in the ceiling where the socket for the old pull cord was? i.e. its in Zone 3 but its in the bathroom.

We're planning to install a bathroom vanity mirror to an appropriate moisture zone in the bathroom. We've just removed the electric shower which had a pull cord switch in the bathroom. There's a permanent live to that switch we want to use. The "shower" has its own circuit on the CU downstairs...

Would a downpipe work well?

Hi all, Just moved into a new house and there’s bad damp and swelling downstairs caused by a faulty join between my gutter with neighbours. I have square guttering, as do most of the street, and as do the ones the other side of my neighbour, but my neighbour has ogee. The union appears to...

Would you remove it from the brick before mounting cement boards?

Stripping back tiles in the bathroom of an early 1900s terraced house. Under the tiles was the layer of plaster, but there is another layer underneath that, that looks almost like a cement type render? We're planning to install cement boards prior to retiling but we're unsure if this layer...

Hi Folks, As per title, installing a double panel radiator that's approximately half the width of its single panel predecessor. I was hoping (for the time being) to not have to cut the existing pipe and soldier new connections, and was thinking of using 2 x ~400mm valve extensions, but they...

No seal. For anyone wondering, the answer to this question was yes. All done and working fine as per diagram in post #1 which is also the same wiring as used here

Thanks Stem. And N and L from fused supply into hive also? FUSED SUPPLY N + L ---GO INTO---> HIVE N & L Terminals ---> FROM HIVE N & L ---GO INTO---> into BOILER L & N (Im comfortable with the 1 + 3 connections, just concerned I've not understood the flow above here correctly).

Hi Stem, Thanks for the reply. My boiler appears to be plugged into a 3 pin socket in the wall. It has a fuse inside the plug. But to clarify, with power coming in from the fused supply, does the diagram still stand - as in, the supply of L and N comes from the fused supply, into the hive...

I'm hoping someone can confirm the wiring before I go ahead and (hopefully not) cause some damage. I'm wiring just a Hive Heating system, the water is on-demand and not set via timer. I'm planning to do the following: Questions I have: 1) Does that look right? Will I have two wires...

Hi guys and gals, Long time lurker here taking the plunge on my own Hive Heating installation, but I have a couple of questions of what exactly I need. Any help much appreciated. I have a Worcester 24i Junior combi boiler. Currently, there is a mechanical timer for the heating on the boiler...
